Seems like a reasonable time for an update. I currently have 772 pages on Talyn, and 160,022 words. As a reminder, goal is 1200 pages and 250,000 words. This puts me roughly 64% of the way done with the first draft. I’m on schedule timewise, and because I’ve been exceeding my […]
You should be able to hear the cheering from here. And thank God for Apple’s eMacs, which are relatively cheap and very sturdy, and for Apple homeschooler discounts, which help. (And for Vincalis the Agitator selling to Germany, the money from which covered this.) Now I have a machine for the next […]
Died dead. I don’t get a blue screen, I don’t get a gray screen. All I get is a single low-toned beep, a black screen, and it sits there.
I’ll trot it over to the Mac store today to see about repairs. I’m not enthused, but neither am I devastated. If I […]
I did 3020 words before 8 AM today. Had to get up at 3:30 AM to do it, but it’s done, my day is mine, and I had the time to do a workshop on coming up with story ideas for the site later this same morning. With illustrations. While the […]

Holly Lisle’s “Your Say” (The Rants)
Okay — I’m ready to start burning textbooks, sending hate […]
I uncovered the disk that has the archives from the old FM Community (on Network 54) on it. I rolled through some of the old posts I had there, and found that I’d written some neat things between June 2000 and June 2002 when we moved over to the DCForums community on our own […]
CC2 Pro — Campaign Cartographer 2 Pro, the program I have been trying without success to run on my WinCrap XP setup, is finally up and running correctly. But not on WinCrap XP.
I have it going on my Mac, using Virtual PC and Windows 98 SE. It works perfectly, now I’ll be able […]
